Keyboard layout in VM not working

[DeletedUser88470]

I am having issues with my keyboard layout in VMs.

I natively use a Nordic keyboard on a Dell laptop, which I use with a Danish layout.
If I create a VM inside FreeNAS, I cannot find the "-" using the Danish layout. I have tried to change the layout to US (within the VM), and then I cannot access the "/", so both render me handicapped.
I have also tried to change the keyboard layout to US in FreeNAS which render the same results...

Does anyone else have this issue?

Thanks - I finally got it somewhat working - the pipe symbol i could not find on the DK layout though - so I needed to temporarily switch over to US type the pipe symbol followed by enter and then again switch over to DK layout, select the previous line and edit it with the US keyboard, where the rest of the special characters could be found.

I look forward to getting this bug fixed.

Once again, thanks for the input and help.
